Notes

[edit]
  • Debrief of first public meeting
    • Positively received (>30 turnout)
    • Jitsi had severe connectivity problems
      • Next time will revert back to zoom for such large meetings
      • Maybe contact Jitsi directly?
    • Purpose of open meetings?
      • General update and intro to wikijournals concept
      • Discussions on ideas with assoc editors, authors, revieres, public
    • Initially, open meeting every 3 months (replacing closed meeting)
      • See if that works and change frequency if necessary
      • If becomes necessary, could set aside 15 mins for board-only business
  • Action items Jan
    • ACRL 2021 application on hold until know whether/how it’s happening
    • Other conferences may be moving online, so could be opportunity to present

    • Angelo’s material: https://cutt.ly/covid19-resources
    • Translations of articles published in other journals
    • Ideas floated at WP:MED
      • Could invite external peer reviews of core COVID articles (would be of a specific oldid but would likely be relatively rapid - would that be useful?)
      • Could invite external authors to contribute articles on corona-related topics that are still stub/start (any topic ideas)?
      • Could invite external contributors to help out on the core covid articles (but they'd need significant MEDMOS guidance)
      • We've previously experimented with 'partner articles' that go into more detail than appropriate on a WP page (similar to Gene wiki reviews, example) would one be useful for any covid-related topics?
